I used to love the McDonald’s Monopoly game. In fact, for my first personal finance blog, one of the most popular posts was an explainer for the game.
And the story I’m sharing today is a bit old, it’s written in 2020 about a scam that was perpetrated in the early 2000s. But every time I see this story I have to read it.
It’s like putting on your favorite pair of sweatpants or finding your favorite childhood snack at a convenience store, you just have to enjoy life’s guilty(ish) pleasures when you can.
Enjoy!
